Chapter 277
Paxton was not the only one who noticed this person.
Even Gavin and the others who were hiding in the shadows noticed this strange
person.
The iron sheet on this person’s face seemed to have grown together with his face. It was rusty and
filled with traces of blood.
Although Gavin and the others had seen more gruesome scenes than this, it did not stop Gavin’s gaze
from lingering on this person for a few seconds.
A feeling of curiosity filled up in his stomach.
However, the celestial warrior from Thorns had already said coldly, “Did you forget what I just told you?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Paxton nodded his head in trepidation and followed the person into the depths respectfully.
Not long after, a tall door of about 10 feet appeared in front of him.
Just as they arrived at the door, it slowly opened from the inside, exposing the interior.
This was actually a pitch-black hall. It was so dark that one could not even see their fingers.
There was also a cold wind blowing from within.
It made Paxton shiver again.
At this moment, the person spoke.
“Go on in.”
“Huh?” Hearing his cold voice, Paxton’s fear became even more obvious as he thought to himself, “It’s
pitch-black inside, and it looks sinister, yet you want me to go in? You’re not going to kill ine, are you?”
Upon seeing hesitance from Paxton, the person spoke again.
“Didn’t you want to see the ruler? If you want to meet him, go in!”
Paxton, who was sull hesitating, gritted his teeth when he heard this
He had something that their ruler wanted, so he was certain that they would not dare to kill him!
Hence he plucked his courage and took a big step inside

The moment they entered

However, as the door closed, a few black shadows quickly entered the hall unnoticed.
After the door had completely closed,
“Click!”
“Click!”
“Click!”
There was a rhythmic sound.
The lights in the hall lit up one after another.
It revealed the full appearance of the hall.
Strictly speaking, this hall could totally be considered grand!
The ceiling was at least 30 feet tall!
The columns were dyed in vermillion. As for what the dye was made of, no one knew.
In the middle was a 6-foot-wide red carpet extending to the hall’s deepest part. On both sides of the
carpet stood 20 men in Thorns’ outfits. These men radiated a frightening aura of celestial warriors.
In the depths of the hall, there were two segmented steps, and at the top of the steps was a huge
throne!
The throne was covered in dark gold-colored thorn flowers!
There was also a huge plaque hanging on the wall behind the throne.
There were three big words on this plaque: [Fair and righteous]!
Good lord, did Thorns really think of themselves as a kingdom?
The ruler of Thorns was treating himself as the king!
Paxton trembled as he walked along the carpet.
He did not dare to raise his head to look at the warriors standing on both sides of the aisle and kept his
head down until he reached the end of the aisle.
Suddenly, the twenty people on both sides shouted in unison, “Kneel!”
Not sure if it was because Paxon was scared or obedient, with a thud, he fell to his knees
However he was not the only one kneeling
After he knelt down the 20 warriors also slowly knelt down
The next moment the sound of heavy footsteps was heard
A man in a gorgeous bramble flower robe appeared on the high platform in treat
appeared, the twenty of them
“Greetings, Ruler!”
“Long live the Ruler!”
Wow… The way the greeting was done.
This man really thought of himself as a king!
“Rise!”
He was even using the same terms as a king.
The members of Frostpeak Dark Warriors Team D all had strange expressions on their faces.
Only Gavin maintained his cold demeanor, his fists clenched tightly.
Because the person standing on the stage was none other than his uncle, Howard! That face was his
uncle’s face!
Gavin would never forget that face..
Even now, he still could not believe that his uncle had betrayed him.
His mind reminisced about the happy times when he was younger when his uncle brought him out to
play!
But the truth was before him.
Howard was the ruler of Thorns.
And Thorns was the traitor of the Clifford family.
Gavin could even recognize his uncle’s voice in just one word, “Rise”.
Gavin’s body began to tremble slightly.
Harry and the others immediately sensed Gavin’s strange behavior.
They were also physically and mentally prepared.
As soon as the Dark Lord gave the command, they would not hesitate to charge forward even if there
were so many skilled warriors below,
Howard slowly sat on the throne that was covered with dark gold-colored thorn flowers and said in a
deep voice, “I’m Howard Conor. You wanted to see me?”
This sentence was clearly directed at Paxton.
Paxton trembled as he spoke.
Greetings, R-Rulr. Yes, it’s ine, your humble servant, who wants to see you
Howard said indifferently. You better have a good reason for me to spare your

His words were so vicious, speaking of killing the moment he opened his mouth
However Paxton unmediately continued
Don’t worry Ruler
Tfound the thing that you have desired and are looking for!

“The token of the Bookspring Clifford Family!”
As soon as Paxton finished speaking, Howard, who was originally sitting
expressionlessly on the throne, instantly leaned forward. A hint of surprise could be seen forming on
his eyebrows.
“Are you telling the truth?”
From his current facial expression, it was apparent that he really wanted the token badly.
Paxton heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Howard’s current state.
He knew he had picked up the right thing!
Previously, in order to save his own life, he said that the token was not with him. But now, Howard was
right in front of him.
He had what Howard wanted the most. If he gave it to Howard, he would definitely be put in an
important position.
Therefore, Paxton took out the token that he had snatched from Gavin, then raised it with both hands
and exclaimed, “Ruler, the token is here!”
The light emitted from the token was so bright that it actually dimmed the lights in the entire hall.
The 20 celestial warriors around were all surprised.
Even Howard himself was slightly stunned.
His gaze was locked onto the token in Paxton’s hand.
“Hahahahaha!”
Howard immediately let out an arrogant laugh.
“The token of the Bookspring Clifford Family belongs to me now!
“That idiot Gavin would never have anticipated that the Clifford family would end up in my hands!
“Hahahaha!”
As he laughed, he waved his hand and was about to take the token.
But at this very moment, a cold, chilling voice, echoed across the hall. “Howard Conor! I dare you to
touch the token!”
